SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ON RAMA & SITA
On Rama: Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, the ideal husband, the ideal father, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Vâlmiki
On Sita: Sita is unique; that character was depicted once Sita-Ram Darbar - Tanjore Painting and for all. ..She is the very type of the true Indian woman, for all the Indian ideals of a perfected woman have grown out of that one life of Sita. There she will always be,this glorious Sita, purer than purity itself, all patience, and all suffering. She who suffered that life of suffering without a murmur, she the ever-chaste and ever-pure wife, she the ideal of the people, the ideal of the gods, the great Sita, our national God she must always remain. ...Sita has gone into the very vitals of our race. She is there in the blood of every Hindu man and woman; we are all children of Sita. Any attempt to Designed & modernise our women, if it tries to take our women away from developed by that ideal of Sita, is immediately a failure, as we see every day. ILLUMINE The women of India must grow and develop in the footprints of Knowledge Resources ® Sita, and that is the only way. www.illumine.in
